Hi,
As question above.
I've just bought my first vinyl cutter. Seller can supply with "One Year SignCut Pro" for additional £. But I would prefer some free software if possible. I have Corel Draw x4 but heard it's hard to cut straight from Corel.
Any suggestions??

You can get a plug in for corel but i've never used it - I just use artcut that came free with the plotter.

ds, do you use a plug in for the corel and what version of corel do you use ??

i use signblazer, the counter can be a bit of a pain, there is supposed to be a way of downloading it without the counter, but whenever i have tried re-installing it i still get the counter, so it must have some hidden files that stay on your pc even when you remove and reinstal

I've used the plug in before, simple and works a treat. Unfortunately the download doesn't appear to work and they don't respond to emails :-(

Hi Mrs Maggot,
If you go here http://forum.uscutter.com/index.php?/fo ... ignblazer/ and have a look around you will find the files to install to stop the counter and the trial screen.
